I have an area on my right leg that randomly feels like something very warm is touching it. It's very odd. No pressure or anything, just a sudden wave of heat, always in the same place, that dissipates in a few seconds. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Have it looked at ASAP.  Could be a blood clot.  Make sure someone actually looks at it.

I've had a blood clot before and this doesn't feel anything like that did. This feels more like a skin-related thing on the front of my leg. When I had a blood clot, I had pain in my calf. This is just a brief sensation of heat, then it's gone. Do you still think a blood clot is a possibility?

Could be, sometimes they don't have pain.  May be nothing, but should be checked.  Good luck, and keep us posted.
